Genetic Characterization of Sandfly-Borne Viruses in Phlebotomine Sandflies in Iran

Microorganisms, 2023
Phleboviruses are classified into two main groups: the sandfly fever group (transmitted by sandflies and mosquitoes) and the Uukuniemi group (transmitted by ticks).

Seroprevalence of sandfly fever virus infection in military personnel on the western border of Iran [PDF]

Journal of Infection and Public Health, 2017
Summary: Military troops deployed to endemic areas are at risk of contracting sandfly fever, an arthropod-borne viral infection. Although typically a self-limited disease, sandfly fever can cause significant morbidity and loss of function among soldiers.

Seroprevalence study of Toscana virus and viruses belonging to the Sandfly fever Naples antigenic complex in central and southern Italy

Journal of Infection and Public Health, 2017
Sandfly fever viruses are transmitted by the bite of phlebotomine sandflies; serotypes sandfly fever Naples virus, sandfly fever Sicilian virus and sandfly fever Cyprus virus cause febrile illness, whereas Toscana virus (TOSV) may cause neuroinvasive ...

Sandfly-Borne Phlebovirus Isolations from Turkey: New Insight into the Sandfly fever Sicilian and Sandfly fever Naples Species [PDF]

PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2016
Many studies have presented virus sequences which suggest the existence of a variety of putative new phleboviruses transmitted by sandflies in the Old World. However, in most of these studies, only partial sequences in the polymerase or the nucleoprotein genes were characterised. Therefore to further our understand of the presence and potential medical

Sandfly Fever Sicilian Virus, Algeria

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2008
To determine whether sandfly fever Sicilian virus (SFSV) is present in Algeria, we tested sandflies for phlebovirus RNA. A sequence closely related to that of SFSV was detected in a Phlebotomus ariasi sandfly.

Identification and full genome sequencing of previously unknown sandfly-borne phleboviruses using a newly established capture-based next-generation sequencing approach [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology
Sandfly-borne phleboviruses cause febrile illness and neuroinvasive disease in humans. While infections are reported in the Mediterranean region, the discovery of previously unknown phleboviruses in sandflies from Kenya suggests a wider geographic ...

Microbial ecology of sandflies—the correlation between nutrition, Phlebotomus papatasi sandfly development and microbiome

Frontiers in Veterinary Science
The role and the impact of the microbial component on the biology, ecology, and development of sandflies is largely unknown. We evaluated the impact of larval nutrition on laboratory-reared sandflies in correlation to the abundance of food, light ...

Epidemiology of Sandfly-Borne Phleboviruses in North Africa: An Overview

Insects
Eight sandfly-borne phleboviruses were found to circulate in North Africa. Phleboviruses detected in sandflies were Toscana (TOSV), Sandfly Fever Sicilian (SFSV), Sandfly Fever Naples (SFNV), Cyprus (CYPV), Punique (PUNV), Utique, Saddaguia, and Medjerda

A comprehensive overview on sandfly fever

Journal of Acute Disease, 2021
Sandfly fever is a febrile emerging arboviral illness which is a huge threat posed to public health. Sandfly fever viruses (Sicilian, Naples, and Toscana) are endemic to the Mediterranean region.

Isolation and Identification of Sandfly-Borne Viruses from Sandflies Collected from June to August, 2019, in Yangquan County, China

Viruses, 2022
In Yangquan County, the sandfly-transmitted virus (Wuxiang virus) was first isolated from sandflies in 2018. However, relationships between the abundance and seasonal fluctuations of local sandflies and sandfly-transmitted viruses are unknown. Herein, we
